Hi,

Not so keen on 64340, I think your legs are made to look a little stumpy in this one and your facial expression is not the best. Try to stretch out your legs and go onto the points of your toes, this pulls in your calf and makes the legs look longer.

64338 - Cool styling, shame about the black bra strap showing (easily shopped out). Like this shot nonetheless. Watch for the hands though, bit of a hook shape you made, if you pointed your fingers out this would have been better.

71065 - Nice colours but the lighting has made you a little flat, not your fault. With it being so ambient you couldn't turn your head to use it to your advantage.

71064 - What a cool shot! I think you could have given a stronger pose for this though, why would you be looking at the camera at a poker game, you should be looking at the table or sleaning over with more concentration. Also (though this isn't your fault) the cards thrown being the 10 and 5, not very exciting. Usually shots like this you'd use the Aces to give a 'lobbing in a power hand' concept. Also in a shot liek this I think it is good to know a little about cards, so you would not throw cards that way, you'd flick them and you are holding them wrong in your other hand. It implies you are the dealer, so again the throw is wrong. So the set up is off but the concept is cool.

64344 - I like this, nice editorial shot. I could see stock photography using this. A viable image for actual commercial purpose. Good run posture, nice work.

64341 - See how long your leg in the air looks, your legs look much longer here than in the first one I mentioned. Shame the held leg is slightly bent, would have looked even longer if not. Cool fun shot, facially you came out great. Though the chair has nothing to do with the skating? So again set up is off but your part in this one looks good.

Hope that helps!

Love the running shot Steph - for me, this should be your main image.

DragonLady got it right about 6430.  It really is unflattering.  You seem sporty but do not really show off your physique well.  Your facial expression looks a bit stiff and your poses do too.  I think you have a good face and shape but need more time in front of the camera to relax a bit more.

Hey steph, How do you do? Sorry just seen your post  It was good to have a local to chat to last night. Will see you soon at the meet. I have to agree with the others on there comments, But I like the poker one the best but just a little higher on the light I think. but apart from that you have great images elsewhere bring them over? .........
